My Fair Trade Valentine 2013

Want to show your love in a Fair Trade way? This year, be “My Fair Valentine”!

This Valentine’s Day, we challenge our WUSCLocal Committees and members to spread the love further by promoting ethical purchasing habits that will support the fair trade industry in developing countries. Incorporate fair trade products in your St-Valentine’s day celebrations with the cross-Canada My Fair Valentine campaign.

Join other campus groups and Canadians who are asking their friends, family and campuses to express their love with fair trade flair!
